Chapter 301: 136, offering a big reward for hiring mercenaries! Important intelligence about Chen Shanhe!_2
Lin Mo told them to relax, get some rest, and also hinted that they should speak less, then he lay down on the first-class cabin’s sofa seats, barely closed the door and took out his phone, only to see that there was a new chat group added in WeChat.
In the group were the eight members of their family, each using a newly registered WeChat account.
The group owner was Lin Siyu.

[Lin Siyu: @everyone, family, let me show you what first-class is all about. You’re really missing out if you don’t come. I never even dreamed that I’d fly first-class one day.]
[Xu Qin: Are you on the plane already? Aren’t you not supposed to use phones on the plane?]
[Lin Changshui: Nothing went wrong, I hope?]
[Lin Siyu: All good, I was quite worried just now, but my brother is awesome, everything is settled, we’re taking off soon. Nowadays international flights have Wi-Fi, so you can play with your phone and there are beds to sleep in.]

[Lin Changshui: How’s my granddaughter, is she scared?]
[Video.]
[Li Jinwen: Dad, don’t you worry, she’s too busy looking out the window waiting for the plane to take off to be scared.]
[Zhao Huixian: That’s great, just make sure you all stay safe on the journey, and take lots of videos for us when you reach America.]
[Lin Siyu: Ok, don’t worry, I’ve got it all covered, I’m the seasoned traveler here. (⺻▽⺻)]
[Lin Changshui: You girl, you’re the one I’m most worried about, don’t cause trouble for your brother, @Xing Jiang, help me keep an eye on her.]
[Zhang Li: Mhm, Uncle, rest assured, I’ll take care of her.]
[Lin Siyu: Who needs your care? (￣^￣) Humph!]
…..
Lin Mo glanced at the messages in the group and couldn’t help but smile.
Such a wonderful family.
They must always stay this happy!
[Lin Mo: @Li Meiru, don’t just chat, has the itinerary been planned? Have you booked the hotel? Have you arranged the travel routes? We rarely go out for fun, so it’s all down to you, our travel expert, to plan the trip.]
[Lin Siyu: Don’t worry, don’t worry, it’s usually like that when traveling, one person takes care of all the guides along with a bunch of dummies. Just play dumb and leave the rest to me.]
[Lin Changshui: How are you speaking to your brother?]
Lin Mo kept reading the chat for a while, and then opened the stock trading app to start doing some research.
His trip to America was not just for fun, but he came with a serious purpose, and only by gathering more intelligence could he gallop on Wall Street to make a big fortune to fund the development of his live streaming software.
After a few days of in-depth learning, Lin Mo was no longer a complete novice in stocks; he knew a thing or two.
He had even tried buying some stocks via his mobile phone.
For instance, he bought Apple stocks at 193.960 US dollars per share, which were now at 193.600 US dollars per share.
Intel, on the other hand, had gone up a bit, from 48.490 US dollars to 48.920 US dollars.
These were all high-quality stocks. If they went up, they wouldn’t rise by much, and if they fell, there was a baseline.
Besides these, Lin Mo had bought some other stocks and the outcome was quite sad.
Out of twenty stocks, it was a field of green, all showing a downward trend, with the highest drop even hitting 10%, a complete fall stop.
Fortunately, Lin Mo didn’t buy much since it was experimental, so he wasn’t concerned about the fluctuations.
It was just a way of providing intelligence for the system and paying tuition to the capitalists.
And after many days of learning, though there were various professional terminologies and all sorts of impressive-sounding analyses, Lin Mo grasped the essence.
Stocks essentially belong to credit investment,
If you think it’s going to make money in the future, you can invest, and if it really does, you’ll get the returns promised by the company.
The more people who think a stock will make money, the greater the rise in that stock’s value.
That’s the most basic principle.
Of course, there are many factors that come into play like short squeezes, shorting, longing, financial fraud, false advertising… and so on, but it all doesn’t stray from this cycle.
Moreover, Lin Mo was very clear about something – there was no way he could outsmart those far-sighted and resourceful people in Wall Street with just his brains.
His biggest reliance was the Intelligence System, just following its advice when buying stocks would suffice.
Coming to America was partly to give his family a break, and secondly, he hoped to gather more useful stock information right on Wall Street, nothing more.
After checking out the stocks for a while, Lin Mo saw that the group chat was still lively, and the conversation was getting more heated.
He hadn’t slept much the night before, and drove early in the morning, Lin Mo was truly feeling sleepy now, he casually picked a movie to stream onto the screen in front of him, then put on the high-frequency noise-canceling headphones that were exclusive to first-class, and slowly closed his eyes.
…..
When Lin Mo woke up again, they had already reached the transit hub Xiangjiang, where they had a six-hour layover.
Lin Mo and his family had originally planned to rest in the VIP area, but Lin Siyu, energetic as ever, insisted on dragging them around the airport to taste a multitude of Xiangjiang’s delicacies.
Having never been here before, Lin Mo couldn’t be sure if the flavors were authentic or not.
The one thing that stood out about the airport’s offerings was that they were expensive.
Li Jinwen, with her big belly, thoroughly enjoyed following Lin Siyu around; having Zhang Li to take care of the child, and with Lin Siyu acting as her dedicated photographer, she naturally ended up with an array of photos.
Though it was in their disguised appearances, for a woman, it’s all about the feeling when taking pictures, so both Li Jinwen and Lin Siyu were really enjoying the process.
